About

Biography

I’m an occupational therapist (OT) working with pediatric patients with brain injury for neurorehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, cancer and acute care cancer rehabilitation. I strive to encourage and inspire patients to be their best selves.

Empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives and health has always motivated me, and through OT, I get to do this for a living every day. I love the joy and satisfaction of helping others, especially children.

Our Outpatient Neurorehabilitation Team (ONRT) of highly skilled occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech therapists have years of experience working with brain injury patients. Our specialized team works collaboratively to meet our patients’ neuro-rehab needs while working with the larger medical team to improve patient outcomes.

When I’m not working, I enjoy being outside, riding my bike and being in nature. I love spending time with my family, including my four children. Music is a large part of my life, and I play in a rock band for fun.
